Pros

There is a lot of cool stuff happening as this company reinvents itself from just pushing pixels to pushing data around everywhere. NVIDIA is very open internally, so it's very easy to see the level of excitement flowing around; it's nice to generally know about what's happening around you, too.

Cons

NVIDIA is organized to pinch pennies, be it in the compute infrastructure or in employee compensation. Everybody works very hard, but compensation is subpar for the industry; benefits (401k matching?) similarly lack.

Pros

Technical excellence and engineering rigor – Working alongside some of the smartest engineers in the industry. Code reviews, architecture discussions, and performance optimization were taken seriously. Cutting-edge technology – Unparalleled exposure to GPUs, CUDA, AI infrastructure, and low-level systems programming. Truly a place where you can work on problems that define the next decade of computing. Impact – Your work ships in products used by millions of gamers, researchers, and data centers worldwide. That visibility is rare and rewarding. Leadership in AI/ML – NVIDIA is not just riding the AI wave; it’s enabling it. Being at the center of that as an engineer was professionally transformative. Compensation – Competitive salary + RSUs that have appreciated significantly over time. The financial upside for long-term employees has been substantial.

Cons

Internal mobility – Moving between teams (e.g., from automotive to gaming) was harder than promised. Managers sometimes blocked transfers.
